Prince Edward & Countess Sophie Make Rare Appearance With Their Children For The Great British Beach Clean Event

Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex pose with their children while taking part in the Great British Beach Clean on Sunday afternoon (September 20) in Southsea, United Kingdom.

Their Royal Highnesses, along with Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn, volunteered their time alongside other citizens and cleaned up the beach from litter.

The annual initiative, which is led by the Marine Conservation society, tackles ocean pollution, and with help from volunteers, picks up about 319 tons of garbage on the shorelines.

The family of four dressed warmly and walked the beach together, picking up items left over from humans before it washed away into the ocean.

Recently, Sophie has been stepping more into the spotlight, taking over some public appearances from Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, after they left their senior royal roles.

You can see Sophie‘s latest appearance to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance Station here.

If you missed it, you can see why Louise and James might never use their royal titles…
